Corsair Glaive RGB

Overview

I didn’t know what to expect when I received the Glaive, but I’m certainly impressed with the final product. It’s a comfortable, solidly-built mouse with a soft-touch plastic finish that feels great in your hands. The interchangeable thumb grip is a unique feature that adds value. It also comes with a class-leading 16,000 DPI sensor for those that want their cursor zooming around the screen at a million miles an hour.

While the plastic that adorns much of the Corsair Glaive betrays the £59.99 price, the slew of impressive features and luscious aesthetic certainly don't. Overall, this is a seriously impressive gaming mouse.

Corsair's new Glaive design is attractive in photos, but much heavier and wider than you'd expect in person. It's also packed with so many RGB LEDs that the mouse actually gets noticeably warm.

You can get gaming mice a dime a dozen in all colors, features and varieties. Yet somehow Corsair manages to always improve a little and that brings them the advantage of differentiation. The 16K DPI sensor might not seem that important, but it surely...
